"Many cider makers will tell you it takes several kinds of apples for a well-balanced drink. But the Hudson Valley producer Original Sin, where Gidon Coll has been making blended ciders, has an outstanding new one made from a single heirloom varietal, the Newtown Pippin. This hard cider, pressed from an apple with historic roots in the New York region, has a Champagne delicacy and refreshing acidity that make it a fine aperitif or mealtime quaff."
